Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.9 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 12 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 28 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.81 per match at 19.1, economy 3.55, strike rate 32.2.
